@Mac Boeve why waste your time confronting him when the abused is ok with him coming back around.

It should be a minimal cost increase to raise the pitch of the roof, like $2000 (?)

Then you can start collections on that judgement but that is highly unsuccessful, difficult and generally a waste of time and money on most people. 

Lending isn't an issue.I think the toughest part is finding a contractor who I can work with on a small multi-family...two to six units.I'll state up front...I'm not interested in wasting anyone's time.

if repairs are not made or the COC is not obtained in short order you can lose the rent as well.Hiring a lawyer is a waste of money at this juncture and you should put all of  your resources into fixing this home up, getting the COC and do things properly. 

But just like realtors and lenders, you want to find an investor-savvy CPA who knows how to structure your taxes in a way that minimizes your tax liability while also maximizing your qualifying income

Otherwise you're wasting your time putting in an offer. 

Go through my posts for the past year or however long I've been writing on BP because my posts cover subjects fairly extensively and many would work great for subjects at meeting.I've been to many REI, REIA and homegrown meetings and most are a pure waste of time because everyone talks about too many subjects.

I wouldn't want to waste their time as I'm sure its exhausting holding someone's hand through things like this but it would speed things up and cut the learning curve for me.
